Aces & Eights Hack into ImpactWrestling.com!

[gers09]

i think this is a great touch it makes the aces and eights story a bit more believable now that we know d-lo vp and "former" management so he could easily hack the site and the memo's from bully great too

[Lowdown]

Seems to me like they're trying to make things interesting, well moreso, by making this a part of the angle. They've got a ways to go considering the build up. But they're hitting the ground running, some say kudos.

Am I the only one that see's this as putting lipstick on a pig. Yes it was good and it does give Aces & Eights new life but it's only a temporary fix, and as much as you all may be enjoying this have any of you had any NWO flashbacks.
I guess I might enjoy this if I hadn't seen this all before and thought it could end well, but this story has been dragging on for so long that not even Bubba or the website takeover gives me hope. Just like with WCW I'll keep watching in hopes to see a potential ending to this.

Noooo! They have the site back. Aces are still holding on to the Twitter though!

That interests me because surely you have non wrestling fan friends who will see that on your facebook. Good way of getting interest.

Better late than never!

Gotta give credit where credit is due. Great idea. Whoever came up with it deserves some kudos. WWE should have done something like this with The Shield. It would have gotten viral and over very quickly. Hell, they could still do it, although the minority of wrestling fans that watch TNA or follow wrestling websites will know it was stolen from TNA. But WWE has never shied away from stealing great ideas from ROH and TNA before...

I'm torn on this for a number of reasons. While I'm glad to see TNA finally start to get the ball rolling on the An8 storyline I can't help but wonder if they too feel it took far too long and are now going to rush the storyline and do too much too fast. At that point will the fans who have already lost interest in the storyline regain interest or will this simply push out what few fans of the storyline still exist.

On another note it seemed to go against a true Biker gang which all signs point to An8 being. How many biker gangs do you know that go "we are going to destroy this place but first we must hack into their social media outlets and website" Do biker gangs usually even have the knowledge of how TO hack such sites?

Overall I'm just glad they are finally getting the ball rolling on the storyline. Time will tell whether it is too little too late. However I will say with the reemergence of AJ Styles, just like I said years ago on how TNA dropped the ball on the MEM storyline, it needs to ultimately be Styles vs Bully as the main feud. Styles IS TNA. They need to do a somewhat similar storyline with sting/nwo years ago where styles is bitter at tna and the fans for "turning" on him but ultimately does the right thing and fends off An8. For you younger fans out there, that's how "Crow" sting came to be. It was the bitter, sad reincarnation of the Stinger.

to make Aces&8's believeable you have to have every member used on TV and at TNA Live Events{which isn't happening at the moment}

The ONLY Aces&8's Members used on TV & at TNA Live Events are ...
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bully Ray
Devon
Ken Anderson
Wes Brisco


NOT used at Recent & Past TNA Live Events as part of Aces&8s{but used on TV as part of Aces&8s}
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
D.O.C {a.k.a Luke Gallows}
Mike Knux{a.k.a Mike Knox}
Garrett Bischoff
DLo Brown{is TNA Gut Check Officer for TNA Live Events On The Road behind the scene's despite Dixie Storyline Firing Him}
Taz

it looks like The Aces&8s angle will be dragged out until at least April 5th2013 as Bully Ray & Devon are advertised wearing Aces&8s Gear on Event Poster for April 5th TV Taping but after that Bully Ray is NOT Advertised on the posters wearing Aces&8's gear for any futher events after 5th April
2013.

Bully Ray is then ONLY advertised as TNA World Champion on The TNA Slammiversary 2013 TNA Event information Page on their TNA Touring Schedule section of their website{which could mean they haven't yet changed the event information for TNA Slammiversary PPV on their Events Touring Schedule.}

Either way, this is hella fun. The tweets are hilarious, the site takeover is pretty cool. I must say, Aces and Eights are becoming watchable. Hopefully they'll keep it up in the coming weeks.

That is how I feel as well. Sort of too late to do this sort of thing.

But the fact that they took it down shows the whole problem with TNA at really pushing things to succeed sometime. They should have had Aces & 8s run the website permanently. I thought them taking over the site, it felt like someone really taking over and it was pretty cool.

FYI guys most bikers these days aren't yo typical dirty bearded guys u saw on tv. Most are clean cut shaven have families and live in the burbs. I personally know a outlaw mc member who has a IT day job believe it or not
This is 2013 who ISNT on the web now days?? Otherwise I'm liking this angle.

Aces&8s did NOT take over any of TNA {a.k.a Impact Wrestling} Websites/Facebook or Twitter Pages as it was actually taken over by The Impact Wrestling Photographer who did all the Aces&8s Design work when the website take over happened.
